About Tell This to the Universe:

"The poems in Tell This to the Universe, Katie Prince's arresting debut, navigate the failures of human language with paradoxical grace and beauty, revealing the power of words in the exploration of their limitations. They are sublime love letters to ephemerality and decay both vast and infinitesimal, to a reality in which we blink and our 'bodies become cities/ become collections of bones and trash and buildings': a chaotic world moving, changing, and dying faster than our words can hope to capture it."
—Sara Eliza Johnson

"Katie Prince is a poet who writes exquisitely and breathlessly about the cosmos—its presence in her experience and world of ice and loss. Prince is a fearlessly imaginative poet, a wielder of absurdist humor and heartbreaking lyricism, physics, and philosophical thought. At their heart, her poems contend with loss and with how strange it is that we are here at all, the reality and unreality of it."
—Malena Mörling
